On behalf of the Council of the EU, Slovenian Foreign Minister Anže Logar told the European Parliament that hearings under Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union regarding Poland and Hungary were on the agenda of Slovenia’s EU presidency as many MEPs were critical of the stalling of sanctions procedures in question.
Logar said that the Slovenian presidency attached great importance to respect for the rule of law and protection of basic rights. He also highlighted the joint responsibility for promoting common values, vowing that the Slovenian presidency would make use of tools at its disposal and promote a joint culture of the rule of law in the EU.
